Mr Garba pointed out that the two committees met within the week during which a handing-over document was presented to the governor-elect’s committee and also worked out a harmonised agenda for the handing-over ceremony.
The commissioner explained that Mr Ganduje would shortly after the event depart for Abuja as head of the Kano delegation to the inauguration of the President-elect, Bola Tinubu on Monday.
He added that the governor’s departure was also necessitated to beat the deadline for the closure of Nnamdi Azikiwe Internation Airport, Abuja, for the presidential inauguration.
Mr Garba called on people to continue to pray for peace and development of the state.
